[[http://www.daisyowl.com/ Daisy Owl]] is a comic strip by Ben Driscoll that began in 2008. It is slightly similar to both ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' and ''Webcomic/{{Achewood}}'' with its often light, whimsical humor and simple grayscale line art.

The [[{{Webcomics}} webcomic]] follows a precocious girl named Daisy and her adoptive father Mr. Benjamin Owl. [[SpeciesSurname Mr. Owl]] is an [[http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2008-07-04 actual owl]]. Rounding out the cast is Cooper, Daisy's little brother, and Steve Brown, who is Mr. Owl's friend who is also a bear (a polar/grizzly hybrid raised by humans, to be exact).

They live in a [[MundaneFantastic seemingly normal world]], except for the talking animals, [[http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2008-08-21 wizards]], and [[http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2008-07-31 super-advanced honey making technology]].

Currently undergoing pretty extreme ScheduleSlip -- there hasn't been a new comic since June 2010, when Driscoll stopped with no warning at the beginning of a new a storyline, as well as deleting the entire comment section on every strip. After fan inquiry in the Cracked.com forums (where the strip had initially gained popularity), [[http://www.cracked.com/forums/topic/35472/daisy-owl/1860 Driscoll announced]] that cartooning professionally turned it from something he ''wanted'' to do into something he ''had'' to do, and he had gone back to being a programmer. He said that he wants to continue the comics in the future, but the ongoing lack of Daisy Owl is making the fanbase rather sad.

[[http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2009-09-03 They do make him go to the vet]], which could be construed as "raising" him.* CrazyPrepared - NASA is running a Space School to train grown Space Babies to fight invading aliens.
